Oh, okay. I bet that sounds hot. Those are nice speakers man. I was looking at them and some JBL LSR's before getting the ones from M-Audio. I'm not saying they are better, it was just about the money at the time.

Part of what makes them is the cables that I used. Very short balanced TRS male to XLR male cables. Got the monitors and cables; both, at the Guitar Center. I rarely get to crank them as much as I like but, when I do....wow!_________________Mac Book 2.1 Ghz (Penryn) 10.7.5 4Gb DDR2

Sweet! I'm going balanced as well coming out of the old Firewire Solo. Wish I could have mine going direct to both speakers though. The AV40 patches from one speaker to the other with regular speaker wire. I think a little something is lost in that transfer.

As my love of music grew through the years; so, fortunately or unfortunately depending on your view point, did my love of nice sound equipment.

At least a passion for audio is cheaper than a passion for video and you tend to get much more value. If you bought good audio technology 30 years ago, it's still good today. You sure can't say that for video.
